Call it a disorder if you must, but it is NOT a “disease”.

Depression is neither a disease nor a disorder. It is an economic condition brought on by putting trans-factual policies in place, i.e. Obamanomics.

It really does not matter if its a disease or a disorder.
The reason Dr. call it a disease is because it fall into the definition of a disease.
1 Trearable
2 Predictable
3 Progressive.
Like i said names, definition really makes no difference. But it is real and can be deadly.
